No need to worry about travelling with your bike
On the train, bus or plane, it is often very complicated and sometimes impossible to travel with this cumbersome companion: your bike. However, on a ferry, you don't have this problem: your bike is loaded directly into the ship's huge garage. You leave it there for the duration of the Newcastle Upon Tyne-Amsterdam crossing in complete safety and without fear of it being damaged. You will get on your bike in Amsterdam to get off the boat.
For the comfort of a cabin
Although it is not compulsory to make the crossing from Newcastle Upon Tyne to Amsterdam by booking a cabin, you are depriving yourself of a comfort that the ferry is the only mode of transport to offer. Equipped with berths, private bathrooms and sometimes even portholes or balconies, the cabins are not unlike real hotel rooms. Even on a day crossing, enjoying the privacy of a cabin is still possible and much more comfortable than sitting in a lounge.
